the concept of sentient (not even anthropomorphic!) salt and pepper shakers is terrifying.
imagine your only purpose in life is to be held upside down so your insides come spilling out of your head because beings 200x your size enjoy how they taste
I'd like to think they don't feel anything and they'll become more lightheaded as their insides slowly spill out. They get lobotomized once they're empty and die soon after. It's a good thing Sal doesn't have any holes
